r IMPROVE ME NT IN'FLOLIR-BOLTINC-i RE ELS- 1,

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and linking part of the same.

I Be it known that 1", ALLISON-L. WlLLIAMS, of Ortli, in the county of Montgomery and in the Stateofludiana, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Flour-bolting Reel; and do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference being had to the accompanying drawing'and to the letters of reference marked thereon making a part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a flour-bolting reel, as will be hereinafter fully set forth, In order to enable others skilled in the art to .which my invention appertains to make and use the,

proceed to describe its construction same, I will now and operation, referring to "the annexed drawing, in which Figure l is a longitudinal verticainsection, and I igure 2, a transverse vertical section of my boltreel.

A represents the reel-shaft,npon which are placed two disks, B B, one a suitable distance from each end, as shown in fig. 1. a I p In the outer edges of the'd-isks B B is inserted a seriespf ribs, 0. O,'running parallel with the shaft A, and extending anydesired distance beyond the disks.

On the ends of the ribs 0 O are placed the heads '1) D of the reel, said heads being of theproper size for the sizeof the boltreqnieed.

'lhronglithe ribs 0 C, and'into shaft A, passes a seriesof .Wires or rods, (1 a, the outer ends of which are forked, and on a line with the outer'edges of the heads These wires or rods a a are set in spiral form, and in their forked outer ends is laid a wire, I), one end of I which is attached to one head and the other end'i'o i the other head, thus forming a spiral reel, around which the bolting-cloth is stretched.

The advantl ges of this arrangement are readily seen by those acquainted with milling. There is no obstruction to the flour; it slides right along on the cloth, and, by actual experiment, I have found that I can run a mill-bolt constructedin this manner at twice the usual speed, and maketwice the amount of flour in the same time, and of a better quality, as there will be no specks in it.

Inside, attached to the reel, is a perforated revolving cylinder, E, at the upper-or head end of the bolt; Ihalso intendto use a stationary cylinder inside of the c est.

The flour'is brought direct from the bur-spout bya draught of air up through the. tube G, blowing intr outer cylinder, through into the revolving cylinder, and through the perforations in the same onto the cloth.

Having thus :fully described my What I claim as new, ters Patent, isv 1. The combination of the shaft A, disks B, ribs 0, heads D, rods a,and wire b, constructed and arranged asdescribed'toform a mill-bolt reel, substantially as herein set forth.

2, In combination with a mill-bolt reel, constructed as herein described, the perforated cylinder E and tube G, as and for thepurposes herein set i'orth.-

invention, and desire to secure by Let- In testimony that I claim the foregoing Ihav'e of November,

hereunto set .my hand this 8th day 1870.
